Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!
老吉独角戏，一个人撑起全场。没看过原版的前提下，已经觉得男主角处理方式很不对劲，但报警人的电话的确让人听得不耐烦，不知不觉情绪就跟着主角走，越来越烦躁。
其实每个人可能都会和男主人公一样在人生逆境的某些时刻陷入黑暗暴力，因为感情因为家庭因为童年阴影等等错综复杂的因素，虐杀小动物，（借执法者身份）开枪击毙看不顺眼的少年……等等，最终男主在一次电话营救过程中找寻到了自己，选择不再逃避，面对自己的错并承受代价。不得不说吉伦哈尔演技真好，把一个独角戏演的有声有色，有人说是奈飞翻拍原版更好，我先不做评价因为没看过原版。但最后马桶旁给搭档电话那段儿真的非常真实入戏。把人物内心的斗争演绎得淋漓尽致。是的选择直面自己承担前途尽毁的人生，哪儿那么从容？
Jake第几次演LAPD了哈哈，不过表演仍然是神级的
生而为人，都不容易，对别人宽容一点，对自己也宽容一点。杰克一人撑起的电影。
2021.10.1 看之前都不知道是翻拍，就覺得懸念節奏設置得不太到位，男主獨角戲很有看頭，但總覺得他頂著一張帥臉沒太能刻畫出人物性格（對白也有關係吧）導致我最後都有點一頭霧水。而且Ethan Hawke為什麼不出鏡啊真討厭！
7分。丹麦版本的翻拍，没啥新意。一些细节上的修正也没什么特别的。不过Jake Gyllenhaal的表演还是很不错的，基本上，也就是靠他的表演撑起这部小成本片了~~~
男主人设实在不讨喜。结局圆满又正确，好莱坞潜规则兜兜转转又回去了（以前要正确结尾，有段时间变成要坏人赢，现在又轮回去了）
远不及原版吧，美国如果真的让这种有暴力倾向无法控制情绪的狂躁警员值勤，那可真是太pity了
没看过原版，美国的翻拍版主线不清晰，人物刻画不鲜明，多了很多没用的内容，节奏如果更紧凑会好点。杰克吉伦哈尔的演技还是很OK的。电影里的911系统和紧急呼救里的差别好大。
太压抑了。。。看着都要喘不过气来（偏偏在今天选了这部片子补），有好多没必要的细节，反正一切都是为了烘托情绪吧。表演挺拼的，但不是Jake的最好水平（和夜行者差远了），约莫又是爸爸一贯的根据casting来定基调和改内容的模式
美版大体上都照搬原版，添加一些没必要的情节，还自以为是把另一边情节镜头拍给你看，反而没了原版的想象空间。感觉老吉跟谢霆锋的演技很像，有时演的太用力过猛。
三星半吧，吉伦哈尔一个人一个电话演全程，令人不断想起汤老师的“Locke”，同样是电话独角戏，本片的故事更加离奇一点，所以观影感受更好一点吧，但汤老师的演技私以为还是更胜一筹。
这两个神经病可以锁死了。美国片我吐了，泛化人性就是泯灭人性。杰克吉伦哈尔在这里面演技也太夸张了，过度夸张，像个初出茅庐的小演员在过度表演。
杰克的演技一如既往优秀，本片的多次爆发戏也给他充分的自我展示空间。但面对几乎原封不动的故事，相较于原片以平淡见真章，从冷静到压抑到解脱，本片的好莱坞式三段表述还是落于下成，就像片中新增的洛杉矶大火背景，喧嚣吵闹、灰尘扑面。
Expecting Oscar buzz.
吉伦哈尔的表演课。
非常喜欢原版电影。这个美版的开头放了个福音书的句子，好好的整什么宗教，差评！
Broken people save broken people.
原来我看过丹麦版的 难怪觉得里面场景似曾相识。接听讲不清楚情况的电话，真的很恼火。
这部电影作为杰克•吉伦哈尔个人表演值得一看，结局一切都定好了，奥利弗还活着，他也承认自己犯的错误，但这看完无法引人长时间深思。
